Jenga Ocean Uses Recycled Fishing Nets to Create an Eco-Conscious Board Game

Have you ever stopped during family game night and thought: What could I be doing for ocean conservation right now?

OK, maybe that’s never happened, but you can still do your part for marine conservation with Jenga Ocean, the first board game made from recycled fishing nets.

Yes, it’s the classic Jenga game that everyone loves — the game where you remove rectangular blocks one by one from a tower until the loser causes the whole thing to fall down — but each set is made from more than 25 square feet of recycled nets. Jenga partnered with Bureo to create the game from its Net Positiva recycling program.

The game pieces feature ocean-inspired artwork by Lake Buckley and come in 100-percent recycled packaging. The game also features special edition rules, which will help players learn more about the impact of discarded fishing nets on the marine environment.
